Repeat intro

Verse 2: (same chords)

When they want to ruin our province
just to turn it into gold,
when they think our greatest asset
can be mined, dug up and sold,
when the factories are all closing, 
like they are in our home town,
and your friends are looking out for work
that's nowhere to be found,

Chorus 2: (same chords)

When the spirits they need a-risin'
to be happy, proud and strong,
it's time to sing, it's time to sing, 
sing a powerful song,
